I am a 60 year old Financial Manager, Creative Writer, Sales Executive with many years of Professional experience in several careers. I enjoy working with younger generations. I believe stimulating intelligence and creativity in younger people sometimes requires thinking outside the box. Following instructions and completing homework certainly is a priority, as that prepares for adulthood. Going beyond that creates a desire for knowledge, and instigates entrepreneurship at a younger stage by developing desire for leadership and hunger for success. I often tutor my granddaughter and together after completing her school assignment we explore ways to learn more then required.

I have assisted a number of students; Grades 1-12 as well as college-aged and continuing education in various math and science courses. My previous career included 27 years in the television industry at various local production facilities in Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland as well as the Washington DC bureau of the ABC Network. I love tutoring all ages, and find that adults, while a bit harder to reach in the beginning are usually the most enjoyable to work with. I like to take the "mystery" out of the subject. Math can be especially scary to students who don't have a strong foundation in general mathematics and reading comprehension. I am currently volunteer tutoring an adult friend in general math and I am proud to say that her understanding of the basic principles have increased dramatically in only a couple of sessions. I like to teach students how to take each problem apart into its sep

As an online graduate at Kaplan University, I quickly became aware of my priorities. Students seeking help often emailed other classmates for assistance. I was often told there were very few students who responded to their emails; however, I was one of them. I earned my Associate degree through Allegany College of Maryland. I enjoyed this area of study so much that I decided to transfer to Kaplan University Online and continue my study in Business Administration with concentration in Accounting. I attended graduation in Chicago, IL, where I learned no matter what obstacles in life you face you can continue your education if your mind is set to do it. My overall GPA at Allegany College of Maryland was 3.6 and 3.5 at Kaplan University Online. I love to help people understand what they are learning. My goal is to see the "lightbulb" flash on in their mind. I am always available to help your

One year after graduating from Westminster High School, I began substitute teaching for Carroll County in many different subjects. Through these opportunities I became aware of The Arc of Carroll County, where I decided to apply for a full-time job as an instructional assistant, where I have spent the last five years working with the developmentally disabled population. Shortly after starting at the Arc, I decided to return to school to further my education. I began this process at Carroll Community College, from where I graduated in 2007. I then transferred to Mount St. Mary’s Accelerated Adult program where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Business, graduating with honors. When it comes to teaching, regardless of age, I find it effective to hone in on the individuals thought process to adapt my teaching style to fit with this. I feel that learning should be done in a way in whic

During lessons, I am patient, calm, well-spoken, but challenging. I continually ask my students questions and make sure the focus stays on them and their learning rather than myself. I find that the discovery approach works well in my classes and students are always willing to participate in fun games and other activities that allow them to find the answer on their own. The best teacher is one that is always willing to learn and wants to help the individual become a well-rounded person, not just someone who can always give the correct answer. Paulo Freire, the late Brazilian Sociologist, was not only one of the greatest thinkers of the century, but also a humble educator. He believed that there should be no set boundaries between student and teacher because all people have something to contribute. He also believed that one's education should be rooted in the one's reality. Thus a "stu

I am a demonstrative teacher and leader. I believe in the theory of "model, action, and talk" style of presentation of concepts. My creative background lends itself well to keeping a student's initiative and inspiration to a high level so that they are actually motivated to perform at their best. My personality traits are that I am disciplined and a believer in seeking the truth. My personal goals at this point are to inspire other children to want to learn so that learning and writing are not perceived as boring and meaningless and that through writing, the student will want to continue past the assignment and invoke writing and communication through creative channels into their daily lives so that this becomes a "life-skill." As a recent college graduate of Savannah College of Arts and Design, I have extensive experience with writing skills, leading and directing project based assign

I know everyone learns in different ways, so I have found the best way to make someone understand is to put it in terms of something they understand, whether it be sports, chess, movies, anything. This allows them to relate to the material much faster and retain it much longer. Once they grasp the general concept, introducing details and new ideas becomes much easier. In high school and college, part of the community service that I performed was tutoring elementary school kids in math. My BS in finance has given me ample experience and knowledge in the field as well as improved my math and reasoning skills.
